Barnes Hires Scum Lawyer

This could be fun, as Barnes has to win a primary before going anywhere else.  So.....which (D) primary opponent will Barnes try to demolish with his dark money?

Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes has added one of the party's top "dark money" lawyers to his payroll while campaigning on a promise to crack down on undisclosed money in politics, according to campaign finance records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Barnes, Wisconsin's sitting lieutenant governor who has vowed to "stand up to the corrupting influence of dark money" and recently released a list of campaign pledges to combat secretive political spending, disclosed in his latest filing with the Federal Election Commission that he hired the Elias Law Group. The firm, which was founded last year by Democratic lawyer and former Hillary Clinton aide Marc Elias, has established itself as a leading defender and beneficiary of the left's massive dark money network....

FWIW, Elias has also made some rather deranged remarks about ballot-eligibility of (R) candidates.

Barnes may not have much time to consult with Elias, as John Durham is hot on Elias' trail over his slimebucket activities in the '16 election.
